Xin Ja happily savors the taste of the pastries on the table and the effect of the tea on the table. He has not tasted such enjoyable delicacies before and is already planning to bring with him some when he goes back home later.

He wanted for his big sister Yao Xue to have a taste of such a wonderful treat.

As he eats in delight, he suddenly noticed Qing Joming coming back. He was about to greet the guy when he noticed the timid-looking girl behind him.

Xin Ja suddenly choked on his food.

Cough! Cough!

"You'¦" Xin Ja wanted to say something but did not continue as he swallowed his words.

He just showed a faint smile on his face and nodded towards the timid young woman.

"Hehe'¦ Look who I found'¦ By the way, since you two are shy'¦ I will do the introduction'¦" Qing Joming said with a teasing smile.

"Xin Ja'¦ this is, Rou Chenchen'¦ Rou Chenchen, this is my friend, Xin Ja." He said while smiling mischievously.

Xin Ja could not help but smile wryly as he stood up and cupped his hands.

"Hello!" he said in a timid tone.

"Hello!" Rou Chenchen replied.

The two just stood there awkwardly which made Qing Joming shake his head.

"Come, sit here, Miss Rou'¦" he said as he gives his seat.

He then sits next to Xin Ja.

"Umm'¦ Can we have some more cakes here! And more tea!" he called out.

"So'¦ Is this your first time eating here Miss Rou?" Qing Joming asked with a smile.

"Ye'¦ Yes'¦ thank'¦ Thank you for inviting me'¦" she said while biting her lower lip.

"Haha'¦ You don't have to thank me. In fact, you should thank my friend here. This is his treat for us two'¦ Haha'¦" he chuckled.

Xin Ja could not help but shake his head. Though deep in his heart he feels a bit excited to be having a snack with the shy woman he is crushing on.

He did not care about the expenses as he already has a significant amount of money on him.

In fact, he actually did not know how to spend a large amount of money on him. Ever since he was young, they lived a humble life. He learned the value of money while growing up. So, even though he has a lot of them in his ring, he did not know how to spend them.

Cultivation resources, he has many. Materials for crafting and alchemy, he also has many.

In short, he did not lack anything as of this time.

So spending money for his friends is nothing to him.

The three of them enjoy the food, and Xin Ja noticed the rich expression on the young woman in front of him. This made him unable to help himself but steal glances at her.

Xin Ja just found her really cute and attractive, and this made him feel a hint of fondness for her.

"Sigh'¦ Young love'¦" Qing Joming suddenly said on the side while heaving a happy smile while watching his friend.

When Xin Ja heard this, his expression stiffened and he froze. Likewise, Rou Chenchen also stopped eating and dare not look at the two young men before her.

She just licks the traces of food on her lips and suddenly lowered her gaze.

When Xin Ja saw that, it was like a slow-motion picture where her little pinkish tongue comes out and licks her pink lips.

He was tantalized and stunned.

He suddenly could not help but swallow and then shifted his gaze to the side.

But his gaze instead ended up meeting the teasing look on Qing Joming's face.

Right now, he truly wanted to punch that teasing face of his friend.

In his heart, he is already scolding Qing Joming for his wanton teasing. Although he could say that he actually'¦ did not dislike it.

'¦

It was already dark when the three left the tea house.

"I'm off! Bye! Bye!" suddenly Qing Joming said his goodbye and leave the two alone.

Xin Ja and Rou Chenchen froze and did not know what to do after Qing Joming left.

"This'¦" Xin Ja wanted to say something but feels a bit shy.

And he could also tell that she is feeling the same.

"Umm'¦ I will take you home'¦" Xin Ja said as he walk ahead awkwardly.

He already took a couple of steps and Rou Chenchen immediately followed.

The two are silent while walking. No one wanted to talk.

Five minutes later'¦

"Umm'¦ I'¦ I think'¦ I think we are going the wrong way." A timid voice interrupted Xin Ja musing as he is thinking about how he could talk to Rou Chenchen.

Upon hearing this, he almost stumbles to the ground and falls.

They have been walking for a while now and she would say that they are going the wrong way. How could she not tell him sooner? Xin Ja scolded himself for being a dunce for not asking her.

"Ahh'¦ Sorry'¦ where'¦ where is your home?" Xin Ja asked with an awkward smile.

"That'¦ that way'¦" she said pointing in the opposite direction.

Xin Ja wanted to slump down and hit his head. But still, he suddenly feels a bit happy as he realized what this means.

Although they walked the wrong way for a while, this only means that he could walk with her for a while.

"Umm'¦ You'¦ You belong to the Rou family, right?" Xin Ja asked.

"Ye'¦ Yes'¦"

"I heard most of your family members are smithing masters'¦ why did you take apothecary and alchemy?" Xin Ja decided on a conversation topic.

"Ah'¦ Well, it's because of my weak physique." She replied shyly.

"Weak? But you are already a 2nd level Ki fighter?"

"Yes'¦ But'¦ my body could not stand the smoke coming from the furnace. That place makes it hard for me to breathe'¦"

"Hmmm. Maybe you have some allergy'¦" Xin Ja said as he subconsciously replied.

"All'¦ aller'¦ gy? What is that?" confusion could be seen in her expression.

"Well'¦ Umm'¦ How do I explain this'¦ It is when a substance enters your body and then'¦" Xin Ja began explaining, but then he noticed the confusion in Rou Chenchen's expression.

"Ahh'¦ Never mind'¦" Xin Ja scratches his head as he did not know how to explain it plainly.

The reason why his mind is all over the place is that'¦ as of this moment, his mind is actually on cloud nine. He could not think straight.

Seeing the helpless expression on his face, Rou Chenchen suddenly giggled.

Upon hearing this, Xin Ja also showed a faint smile and the two laughed together.

On the way to her home, they began sharing some stories and Xin Ja did not notice the time. By the time he realized it, they have already arrived at the gates of Rou Chenchen's home.

"Thank'¦ thank you for walking me to my home'¦" she said with a smile.

Xin Ja almost got blinded as he found her smile very beautiful.

"Ah'¦ You'¦ you're welcome. Good night!" he said subconsciously.

"Good night!" Rou Chenchen said as she opens the gate and enters.

Xin Ja nodded his head and happily skipped down the road.

He feels elated today and could say that today is one of the happiest days of his life.

While walking down the road, he suddenly feels something landing on his head. When he looks up, he saw the head of Xuanlong peeking down and has a hint of a smile on his face.

"Hey! Haha'¦ Where have you been little guy?" Xin Ja asked as he happily patted the small head with his finger.

This small guy is still little but is already at the 2nd level. He could only lament on his luck as no matter how hard he tries to cultivate, he is still stuck on the 1st level.

Xin Ja knew that no matter how he increases his power, the outside world would always see him as a level 1 Ki fighter. But right now, he is having a hard time feeding that almost bottomless sphere in his dantian.

His unique vision is showing him, that his Ki level is at 190'¦ which means that he only needs ten levels to reach the second level. But for the whole week and while traveling, he has only gone 1 level from 189 to 190.

And this is causing him a bit of frustration.

The two then happily walk home while playing on the road.

The kingdom of Glysko, the neighboring kingdom of Jimal

The capital city of the kingdom of Glysko is one of the most prosperous cities in the Empire of Gong where both the kingdom of Jimal and Glysko are under.

The name of the city is Cloud City and it is located on the highest mountain peak of the kingdom.

At the center of Cloud City is a beautiful castle where the royal family of the kingdom lives.

At this time'¦ inside a well-decorated hall filled with gold and silver objects, a group of men wearing different colored robes is assembled.

In the midst of them, all sits a handsome-looking middle-aged man with a golden crown on his head.

The man pointed at the map in front of him and said in a commanding tone.

"Start the preparation'¦ Move as soon as everything is ready!"
